Not many available FPS games have such a high skill ceiling as Quake III Arena, making this a great game to invest time into, for those that want to get to a competitive level.

Pro

Plenty of variation with multiple game modes keeps the gameplay fresh

Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch and Capture the Flag are the various modes that players can select within the game. This allows for enough change in gameplay for the user so that the game never gets old too fast.

Pro

Offline LAN support

By using a LAN connection, multiple computers can facilitate multiplayer without the need for an internet connection.

Pro

You can easily run the game on low end PC's

Due to the age of the title (released 1999) and the requirements of said title in the modern day, the game can easily be played on just about any PC from the last 10 years.

Pro

Fantastic audio

From the sweeping orchestral score to the outlandish sound effects to the superb voice acting the game really shows polish in the audio department, which really helps with the immersion of the game and the world it is trying to portray.

Pro

Tons of stage transitions

Being that the game uses the DC universe as the setting, the developers choose to take full advantage of the stories found in the universe and implements them through tons of stage transitions, making for hug environments where characters can be thrown to completely different areas, all animated through cut scenes that exude character development through transition..

Pro

Well fitting theme

The DC characters used in the game are implemented well through expositions before matches as well as design overall. Each character is believably portrayed in the game just as they are in the comics. There is much fan-service contained within as well, making for a great game for fans of the franchises used as well as for people that just enjoy good presentation.

Cons

Con

Poor quality voice-overs

Given that it is an older title and thus released when studios put little money towards quality voice-overs, Quake III Arena stands out as one of the worst of its kind, not least on account of the game announcer who is one of the main culprits.

Con

Animations are not always smooth

While overall the game is animated well there are times where mid air collisions or missed frames of animation stand out as a problem. For the most part this is a slick looking game, but when animation issues arise, it definitely stands out breaking immersion.

Con

Low replayability

Once each character story has been beaten there is little reason to revisit the game other than for multiplayer. Like many fighting games the single c=player components are a bit thin and wear out fast.
